Editor's Note: This local law provided that
it shall be used in the preparation of assessment rolls on or after
7-1-2006.
This article shall be known as the "Increase
in the Exemption Allowed for the Alternative Veterans Exemption Law"
of the Town of Clarkson.
It is the purpose and intent of this article
to implement legislation that amends § 458-a, Subdivision
2, of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York to allow
the Town of Clarkson to increase the maximum exemption allowable in
Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of said subdivision to $36,000, $24,000
and $120,000, respectively.
The Town Board of the Town of Clarkson hereby
recognizes that the total assessed value of the real property for
which an exemption has been granted pursuant to Paragraphs (a), (b)
and (c) of Subdivision 2 of § 458-a of the Real Property
Tax Law has increased substantially since the original enactment of
§ 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law in 1984 and that the
original maximum exemption allowable under Paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of Subdivision 2 of § 458-a has significantly decreased
as a percentage of the total assessed value of the real property.
This exemption was increased in 1997, and subsequent increases in
value indicate that these exemptions should be increased again.
The Assessor of the Town of Clarkson is hereby
directed to increase the maximum exemption allowable for the alternative
veterans exemption in Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Subdivision 2
of § 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law to $36,000, $24,000
and $120,000, respectively, and to appropriately code all alternative
veterans exemptions on the assessment roll of the Town of Clarkson
to accurately reflect the increase.
